Young Christian Mom

See that little guy in the picture? His name is Aiden, and he is my
life. It was really hard at first. And, I'm not going to lie, there are
still some days I want to pull my hair out. But, I wouldn't change a
thing.
If someone had asked me ten years ago where I thought I would be
today, I definitely would have said something other than becoming a
teenage mom.
I was not prepared at all for what God had in store for me. I had
graduated high school at seventeen and the world was my oyster. But,
not long after my 18th birthday I met him.
He was a daredevil and he liked to break rules
and for some reason that intrigued me. We
started dating and two months later I was
pregnant. I panicked. How could I have been so
stupid? I barely knew this guy! What was I going
to do? To me, abortion was out of the question. I
had a child growing inside of me, so I needed to
accept the responsibility of my actions.
Having a child obviously changes a person’s life.
Little did I know the impact that my son would
have on me, and why God sent him to me when
He did.
